truth on hold Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 And how could anyone come off the bench and audible a game like Manning? This team seems more reliant on their QB than any other in the league. If he goes down, wouldn't Bills have a shot at beating them next week?

Corp000085 Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 any given sunday... however, he's about as durable as favre. don't bet the farm on scobee or whatever his name is to come in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daquixers_is_back Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 Manning has played 135 straight games. Pretty durable .. but I get what your saying. I do hope (someday) another QB comes in and has to play in place of Manning for a game just to show other people that its not just Manning's supporting cast that makes him great.

SACTOBILLSFAN Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 Hollywood Donahoe would have you believe Peyton actually doesnt call his own plays and its all just an act. 825831[/snapback] Technically Peyton gets a few plays to choose from before the snap and he picks out of those few plays, so its not like he's REALLY calling his own plays.

(just stirring the sh-- for fun) 825881[/snapback] That happens when their simply driving. If it is no huddle or a 2 minute type of thing Peyton calls it himself period. "His meticulous film study allows him to call most of his plays at the line of scrimmage and pick apart even the best defenses." - Maxwell Football Award "He's just a great field general," said Joe Namath, the Hall of Fame quarterback who called his own plays in the New York Jets epic upset of Baltimore in Super Bowl III. "I think he has to be the best field general I've ever seen." (from maxwell) "...what Peyton is doing is sitting at the line of scrimmage, running the game by himself. He's a coach on the field." - Darren Sharper "Peyton Manning has authority to call plays at the line." -NFL.com no Charlie Weiss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max997 Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 one of the dumbest threads Ive seen on this board by the way Peyton has never missed a start in the NFL and just missed his first practice about a month ago because of his grandmothers funeral Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daquixers_is_back Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 Here are a few .... im too tired to go searching for more "Have you ever seen a better argument for Tuesday Morning Quarterback's longstanding contention that many NFL quarterbacks should call their own plays? Jim Kelly was the last NFL quarterback to call his own plays on a regular basis, and that worked out pretty well as you may recall. In the last decade, playcalling by quarterbacks has become almost unknown. Peyton Manning has authority to call plays at the line, which seems to work out pretty well." - NFL.com Dont know about you, but that sure makes it sound like he is the only one. There was a time when most quarterbacks called all their own plays at the line, but it has become a dying art. Until Manning came along, Jim Kelly of the Bills was the only quarterback who called his own plays at the line through the 1980s and '90s. Now, the Colts' system is a focal point and trigger for criticism because it's different from every other offense in the league - The Sporting News Kinda self-explanatory Though quarterbacks occasionally change the play at the line of scrimmage, after viewing the defensive alignment, quarterbacks who routinely call their own plays have become rare, with Peyton Manning a notable exception (Manning's 2004 single-season passer rating of 121.1, a record, may have earned him that right). Prior to Peyton Manning, the last quarterback to call his own plays in this manner was the Buffalo Bills' Jim Kelly, who ran the "K-Gun", no-huddle offense during their Super Bowl heyday. Kelly was often given four different plays to choose from by his coaches, but it was up to him to make the final decision as to which of the four plays would be executed. - Answers.com self-explanatory But hey. Whatever. You guys can believe whatever you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
